Connacht fans warned to buy tickets early

Connacht are looking forward to a full house at home to Carl Hayman's Newcastle Falcons in the European Challenge Cup at The Sportsground on Friday night.

Connacht Rugby Commercial Manager Fiona Keys said that there was a strong demand for tickets and urged supporters to get their tickets as soon as possible to avoid disappointment as the game could be a sell-out.

"There is huge interest in the game and we are looking forward to a packed Sportsground on Friday," she said.

Tickets, which cost €25, are being sold on a first-come, first served basis and are available from online from www.ticketmaster.ie or from Ticketmaster outlets in Galway which include the Zhivago stores and Fancy Fare in Salthill.

Tickets are also available from the Connacht Rugby headquarters at The Sportsground between 9am and 5pm each day.
